I do still support some aspects of capitalism and the free market. I'm of the opinion that society should guarantee everyone the basics and then those who want can build extra wealth for all I care. Just not through outright exploitation.

I don't know if there's a specific label for my beliefs, as I'm not too into political theory.

I love me a drive thru when I'm so exhausted I don't want to get out of the car. Car has comfy seats and HVAC. Normally I do prefer going in to get the order faster though.

I think it's a cool voice but I wouldn't want to watch his movies all the time, it gets tiresome. I do like some of the movies though.

I think it's literally just his voice that people hate lol

I'm enough of a socdem that the hexbear types ban me at first sight when I comment in their communities, but I'm still of the opinion that everyone is entitled to have A home. Something that is reasonably sized given the location, and there may be compromises in location itself (not everyone is going to fit in Manhattan after all). So an apartment in NYC or a single family home in flyover states somewhere. This is just using the US as an example because it's so culturally dominant, I think everyone knows what NYC is like. Everyone should be able to live in a home that affords them basic human dignity.

Now rich people can still have their mansions or whatever, but they'll have to pay for the privilege. The rest of us, if content with the aforementioned social housing, wouldn't have to pay. There would still be premium developments. Premium apartments or houses to rent or buy. But there would be no more profiting off the working class's basic need for shelter.

Hey I like this idea. I want my own dog park!

This seems like a very American thing. I've never not received my food. No, the drivers aren't well paid here either.

The one time food did not arrive, it was driver error (similar buildings on one lot) and we contacted the service, got a new order for free (the old one would've been cold already)

You'd need an operating system that uses it. It's going to be at least as difficult as flashing a custom rom, but likely even more so, as there might not be a ready-made build. Definitely something to experiment with on a secondary phone. PostmarketOS is your best bet, here are others that support Plasma Mobile.

Income and viewers are the same egg. You can put up sponsor segments but they're no good if nobody is watching.

The founder of SimpleX unfortunately seems to be full MAGA. I don't want to touch that project with a 3 meter pole.

Matrix isn't doing too well either. Might be time to start a completely new project.

People who buy brand new cars tend to be older and probably are anticipating getting back or other mobility issues before they eventually sell the car. I think that could be a contributing factor.

That does sound like it would help.
